An apparatus for filling containers with a filling material includes a transport element that rotates in a transport direction, filling positions formed on the transport element, and a common carrier common to all positions and moving with the transport element. Each filling position has a filling element, a weighing cell secured to the carrier, a container carrier, and a functional element assigned to the filling position on the common carrier. The common carrier is adjustable to move by an adjustment unit either in or opposite to the transport direction. The adjustment unit corresponds to a distance between functional elements of filler positions that are adjacent to each other in the transport direction. |

1. An apparatus for filling containers with a filling material, said apparatus comprising a circulating transport element, a common carrier, and a plurality of filling positions, each of said filling positions comprising a filling element, a weighing cell, a first functional element, and a second functional element, wherein said circulating transport element is configured to be driven to rotate about a vertical machine axis in a transport direction, wherein said filling positions are formed on said transport element, wherein said common carrier is common to all of said filling positions, wherein said filling element is configured for controlled dispensation of filling material into a container, wherein said first functional element comprises a container carrier, wherein said first functional element is arranged on said common carrier, wherein said second functional element is arranged on said common carrier, wherein said common carrier is moved in said transport direction synchronously with said transport element, wherein said common carrier is adjustable to move by at least one adjustment unit in a direction selected from the group consisting of said transport direction and a direction that is opposite to said transport direction, wherein said adjustment unit corresponds to a distance between functional elements of filler positions that are adjacent to each other in said transport direction, wherein said weighing cell is secured on said common carrier for quantity-controlled filling of said container wherein each filling position comprises at least two different container carriers, and wherein an assignment of said weighing cell to said at least two different container carriers is selected from the group consisting of a first assignment and a second assignment, wherein, in said first assignment, said weighing cell is an independent weighing cell assigned to each of said at least two different container carriers, and wherein, in said second assignment, said weighing cell is a common weighing cell assigned to said at least two container carriers. |
